Please read carefully what's written & not what you assume to be written Lee. And yes my free speech is impeded, because if I must be constantly looking over my shoulder while holding a conversation just in case someone takes offence at a word I've used in a discussion which is not directed at them or about them but they may take umbrage on behalf of whoever/whatever it was I'd mentioned.
Was that what was said Mike ? As I advised Lee, please read what's actually been written & not assume. By your response you have just proved my point quite succinctly, the taking offence & getting affronted at something "that was said" ? without knowing or understanding the reasoning behind the comment/term used. |
I was responding to the final paragraph of Lee's post 33.
